Jerry Setter

Jerry Setter breeds Hereford cattle in Lenexa, KS, in Johnson County and the Kansas City metro. The operation participates in the American Hereford Association registry and follows routine herd health protocols with regular veterinary examinations and comprehensive genetic screenings.

Animals graze on rotational pastures year-round, and calves are socialized from birth to promote calm temperaments. During the colder months, the herd receives supplemental forage and comfortable, sheltered housing to ensure steady growth.

Established on family land several generations ago, the farm maintains a focus on functional traits suited for grass-based systems and emphasizes gentle handling. Farmers in the region note the cattle’s even dispositions and steady weight gains under varied pasture conditions. The herd management prioritizes rotational grazing of native grasses, contributing to soil health and forage diversity. Cattle are generally ready for new environments after careful transition protocols that minimize stress.
